1 . Just Cycle and Fold away

There’s no excuse not to get on your bike this spring. Get your indoor cycling fix and feel the benefits.

Great for general cardio (有氧的) fitness, exercise bikes can be a brilliant way of training at home. However, choosing the right bike is incredibly important, which is something that Roger Black and his team recognized when creating the Roger Black Folding Bike.

“Excellent value for money. Especially the ability to fold the exercise bike into a vertical (直立的) position and wheel it away for storage. This can also prevent you from throwing your clothes on it at the end of the day! Even if we are limited on space at home and work, we can continue physical activity with a Roger Black Folding Bike. This bike is helping me achieve my fitness goals following a recent running injury.”

——Brian Smith

“Best Present EVER are the words from my 77-year-old father who received his Roger Black fitness bike for his birthday. He said it is so simple and easy to use. The seat is VERY comfortable, so using it every day is a pleasure. It folds away nearly so it can be stored behind a door when necessary.”

——Anna Farnham

3 . Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach, and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy.    1    . The location of store displays (摆放) also influences our shopping choices. And it may make or break some healthy eating habits.

The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food. Studies have found that the products most commonly found there are sugary and salty snacks. And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior. A 2012 study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks.    2    In 2014 Norwegian and Icelandic researchers also found that replacing unhealthy foods with healthy ones in the checkout area significantly increased last-minute sales of healthier foods.

    3    It has been working with more than 1,000 store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious foods. “We know that the stores are full of cues (暗示) meant to encourage consumption,” says Tamar Adjoian, a research scientist at the department, “Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”

Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s crowded urban checkout areas, so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study.    4    Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.

Of the more than 2,100 shoppers they observed, just 4 percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did, however, customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines.    5    The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.

The potential influence may seem small, but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines would open customers’ eyes to nutritious, lower-calorie foods. Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.

A．These foods give people more energy.

B．They bought unhealthy foods 40 percent less often.

C．But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases.

D．The supermarkets began to offer nutritious, lower-calorie foods.

E．It happened when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves.

F．These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.

G．They replaced candies and cookies with fruits and nuts near the checkout counter.

4 . What is the woman doing?

A．Making cakes.

B．Planting flowers.

C．Shopping.

5 . What does the girl want?

A．A sweater.

B．A dress.

C．Shoes.

Huawei’s success: Beyond the tech with a focus on core values
